Wow this is amazing. Thank you so much for noticing my post and responding. I'll reach out to the insurance company. And you might get a call from me to inquire about your property management services too! Thank you

We are being dropped by our insurer this year, presumably because there are some repairs that need to be done. We are seeking quotes for the repairs but the insurance company is not giving us any option.our insurance broker says that a lot of insurance companies are refusing to insure properties in upstate New York.

I didn't think all the weather-related disasters were affecting that area. But then I heard all the insurance company spread their risk across different geographies and they're just trying to get out of the business or get at a certain States. Regardless, we need insurance because we have a small mortgage. 


Does anyone have any good brokers in the upstate New York area in Warren county?

Stessa looked fine until I tried to EXIT my funds to my bank account. No luck. They say I have to contact support. RIDICULOUS.

Their support is terrible and why hold on to our money??

Hello everyone! My partners and I closed on our first deal in Chester, PA and I have been fortunate enough to be in control of the accounting. We have decided to use Stessa and it seems simple, but I do have a couple questions on how to track certain information since it is linked to our business account and every charge shows up in the transaction tab in Stessa. For things like personal-deposits, credit card cash back payments, store reimbursement for products, how should these be categorized? Additionally, how do I show my acquisition and closing costs correctly too? Any help would be appreciated! 

If you try to categorize every txn, you'll go nuts. I just eyeball the list in the txn history, select all the ones that don't fall into income or expenses - and DELETE.

For acquisition - you can create the property in

  https://app.stessa.com/web3/properties and it should ask you for the relevant info. 


 THIS. I do the same thing. Just focus on income and expenses and delete the rest (transfers, refunds, interest earned, etc)

might be best taking this to Stessa Support


 Good luck with that. They don't offer ANY way to contact them anymore. The chat feature has to option to start a new case/thread. Something seems fishy there.

Quote from @Ketan Parekh:

I landed up disconnecting the auto sync and landed up manually adding the transactions as needed. Also if you have appfolio integrates you land up getting double entry.

I"m probably going to do the same thing for 2 reasons:

1) My paypal and venmo accounts stopped syncing earlier this year due to MFA error but I can log in just fine to these accounts directly. I keep getting 'maximum attempts reached' error

2) I saw a bunch of duplicate entries from some financial institutions. 

It's a real pain since the whole point of using their software was to automate. Very frustrating.
